Tonnes of litter - including needles, furniture, suit cases, TVs and fridges - had been piled high for a few weeks at the Chatham Street Car Park situated just a five minute walk from the popular Kelham Island suburb.

Essex-based Total Car Parks Ltd, which operates the site, has now taken action and arranged with the council to remove the rubbish from the site.

A spokesperson for the company said they have provided "clear evidence" to Sheffield Council showing at least one offender dumping rubbish having visited the site 43 times recently, including up to four visits a day.

She added: "We very much appreciate the support our customers have given us, and we now hope that the measures we have put in place, will stop this illegal and disgusting practice."
